SEOUL, July 14 (Yonhap) -- Arrested former President Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to appear for questioning by a special counsel team Monday over his failed martial law bid. Yoon, who has been held at the Seoul Detention Center since his second arrest last Thursday, had been asked to appear at the special counsel's office for questioning at 2 p.m.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was back in a solitary jail cell on Thursday with basic food and a khaki prison uniform after prosecutors secured a new detention warrant over his bid to impose martial law last year.

A South Korean court has approved the new arrest of former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges related to his brief imposition of martial law in December, accepting a special prosecutor’s claim that he poses a risk of destroying evidence.
